Dear White Women: Interracial Relationships and Biracial Children Do Not Absolve You of Racism
There she was: a blond woman with big blue eyes, hair cornrowed tight, with her caramel-colored black child sitting in the back seat. The question, on a mutual friend’s Facebook post, asked if voters were happy with their decision to elect Donald Trump president. The white woman responded that she was satisfied with the job…

Black Twitter Is Dragging Kim Kardashian for Dressing as Aaliyah for Halloween, but Is It Cultural Appropriation?
Black Twitter is dragging the Kardashians again. I know it seems as if they do something stupid more often than Stephen A. Smith says something stupid, but in the KKKKK clan’s defense (Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie and the other one … ), they are pretty stupid. And when you combine stupidity with a nonexistent sense…

In a cover story written by Janet Mock, Kim Kardashian West and North West are on this month’s cover of Interview magazine, looking first-lady-like. Kardashian West’s look is reminiscent of Jackie Onassis’, and she’s dressed in H&M Studio. And this pretty much sums up the photos:

Taylor Swift and the Tale of Unstoppable White Privilege Meeting Immovable White Privilege
I’ll be honest. I thought it was going to be a boring-ass week—until Taylor Swift “surprise”-dropped her new single from her next album, “Reputation,” this past Friday.

Kanye’s baby mama is accused of darkening her skin in an ad promoting her new line of beauty products. According to The Sun (no, not that one; the one that’s a British newspaper), Kim Kardashian sent a tweet publicizing her Kim Kardashian West Beauty Kit, focused on contouring and highlighting: But as soon as people…

Should You Ever Trust a White Lady Sitting Cross-Legged on a Couch? Just Asking for a Friend!
My friend Isha Aran over at Fusion said something recently that resonated with my whole entire spirit: If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s never trust a white lady sitting cross-legged on a white couch. Aran went on to say: “They’re either trying to sell you crystal essences, or about to tell you…

Kim Kardashian Should Not Be Blamed for the F–kery of Kanye West
When Kanye “He’ll leave your ass for a white girl” West and Kim Kardashian married in May 2014, the world knew that it would be a match made in heaven: two egos finally becoming one in holy matrimony. Kanye West, a man who has had an infatuation with stereotypically beautiful women—read: women who have a…

What to Make of Kanye West?
This piece started off quite differently. You see, after years of skating around the margins of the sentiment, I’d finally leaned into full-on “F—k Kanye West” mode. It followed years of annoyance at his trend of constantly obnoxious and solipsistic behavior. Even his admission during a recent concert that he didn’t vote at all Nov. 8…
